“When it comes to dependence on Russian gas, we are in the same boat.
Alexander correctly noted yesterday in Budapest that this is not our desire, this is a fact determined by infrastructure and geography, ”TASS quoted him as saying.
According to the head of Hungarian diplomacy, this should be taken into account and national interests should be put in the first place in order to ensure gas supplies for their countries.
“In Hungary, we made it clear that we are not even ready to discuss any sanctions against gas supplies.
We made it clear that we would not support the sanctions list, which would include Gazprom or Gazprombank,” Szijjarto concluded.
Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that sanctions and an embargo on gas from Russia would destroy the European economy.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg called on EU countries to stop complaining and paying for sanctions.
